In many cases, it might be cheaper to buy for the initial expense but depending to circumstances the long term costs would be greater when you consider annual inspections and the costs of buying parts for production aircraft. Building your own might be more expensive on the initial price but prove less costly if you intend to keep the plane for an extended period of time. |

In the end it always comes back to, :If you want to fly, buy; if you want to build, build". |
